IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES FOR ATTACHING BRUSHES TO HATS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,422, dated April 9, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW A. Vnnn, of Delaware, in the county of Delaware and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Devices for Attaching Brushes to Hats; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The object of my invention is to provide a fastening especially adapted to secure within the crown of a hat a brush or comb, and which will admit of being readily locked and unlocked, to attach and remove the article to be carried in the hat, as hereinafter more fully described.

Figure 1 represents a transverse vertical section of my new fastening. Fig. 2 represents the outline of the concavo-convex plate and its slot. Fig. 3 represents the smaller disk and its parts.

My improvement in fastenings is made in two parts, A B, as represented in the drawing. The circular plate A, which is provided with the two thin V-shaped teeth 8, is concavo-convex in form, and will be secured with its concave side next to the crown of a hat. The teeth 8 will be inserted through the heavy lining in the crown of the hat and then be bent down or clinched to hold this piece A in position. In the center of piece A there is a slot, i, as represented in the drawing. The part B, which is a smaller disk, is made with a spikeformed stud or tack, 00, upon its plane face, and upon its convex side a short central stud serting the tack w through it and clinching it down like a wrought nail, so that the part B becomes fixed upon the back of the brush permanently.

It will be understood that both of the parts of the fastening are to be secured, as above described; one to the inside of the hat, and the other to the brush or other article to be carried within the hat-crown, and will be locked and unlocked in the manner specified.

Having fully described my improved fastening, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

I The concavoconvex plate A, made with the central slot and teeth 8, in combination with the part B, provided with the tack w and stud, with its arms a a, as a fastening, for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 5th day of September, A. D. 1871.

ANDREW A. VEER.
